Re: [FULL]The Empire Of Business, by Andrew Carnegie - tg

Perfect! Thank you for that excellent feedback. I'll get to work on the edits. Regarding the quote unquote, I wasn't sure how to handle them but read your note to another reader suggesting to leave them out so took that as a universal cue. :D I agree with your point though, that if it's hard to dist...

Re: [FULL]The Empire Of Business, by Andrew Carnegie - tg

Thanks, Darryl. I'll be looking for 17 in the near future, (or I'll have to chase you around the moon and back on my broomstick). Take care of yourself. :D Oh dear, I'm going to have to go into lockdown for my own safety it seems. :D I'm over my cold now and my voice isn't so croaky anymore. I'll g...

Re: [GROUP]The Empire Of Business, by Andrew Carnegie - tg

Hi Darryl, and welcome to Librivox. No problem with a British accent whatever, but you have chosen some fairly long sections to inaugurate your foray into recording. My recommendation is you start with 17, the shortest of the 3, and see how it goes. At about 4000 words, that file alone will end up ...

Re: Increasing Volume in GarageBand

Honestly, the best advice for the user is to simply switch to Audacity. I have Garage Band installed and use it for recording vocals sung with a backing track. The simple fact that so many here use Audacity, that some have even posted instructional videos using Audacity to make recordings for Libriv...

Re: Some more tutorial-ish videos

Hello all, Inspired by Phil's excellent work, and not at all put off by my complete lack of experience in making videos and newby status here, I thought I should share my ignorance publicly by creating a series of YouTube videos. ... Best Regards, Adrian Hey Adrian, I just wanted to add my voice to...

Hi Michele,

Thanks for the feedback. All noted.

As for catalogue name, I think 'djpentz' will be fine.

Thanks!

Re: [GROUP]The Empire Of Business, by Andrew Carnegie - tg

I'd like to try sections 11, 12 (Wealth) and 17 (Individualism vs Socialism).

It is my first time narrating and I don't have an American accent so I'd understand if it was a no. My 1 minute test is here: https://librivox.org/uploads/tests/test2_djpentz.mp3. :-)

Hi all, Greetings from Cape Town - I'm Darryl Pentz. Was recommended to volunteer on LibriVox to gain experience in narrating audiobooks. Seeing the energy here and general sense of community, the idea of giving back to society is very appealing and judging by the forum posts, this a very friendly c...
